Talk of the year: celebs, Big Brother, Facebook, careers and

24th Dec 09:34

The best-read forums that received the most comments in Brand Republic during 2007 revolved around recurrent themes: reality TV, social networks and celebrities.

But there was much more to chat about than Big Brother, Facebook and what celebrity was starring in the latest supermarket commercial. There was a lot of talk on the threads about careers: advice to graduates, tips for those in mid-career and finally the elephant in the room (ageism).

And of course there were the ads to talk about: the big showcase ads (Sony Bravia, Guiness, Cadbury and BA), the controversial (MFI and Trident gum) and the irritating (too many to list).

And then there's the offbeat forums, such as Instructions for American Admen in Britain 2007.

Here are the top forums for 2007 ranked by the number of people who read them and made comments.
